Note:
Eight sheets joined. Based on James Gardner's 1825 world map (see our 4755.000) but updated. "Monumental Wall Map of the World, published by Official State Engineer Raffaele Mancini in Naples and dedicated to the King of the Two Sicilies. This colossal production was created specially for the court of King Ferdinando II of the Two Sicilies. It provides a remarkably large image of globe during the 1830s, a time of great transition and development, particularly in the Americas, Africa and Oceania. A sumptuous, expensive production, it was issued in only a very small print run, and is today exceptionally rare, this being 1 of only 3 known surviving examples. In creating the present map, Mancini employed James Gardner's 1825 World map as a model, although, with significant cartographic updates. Gardner drew his cartographic details from Aaron Arrowsmith's 1814 World Map on a Globular Projection featuring 36-inch hemispheres. Mancini's production is done to the same gargantuan scale as Gardner's map, which is regarded as perhaps "one of the largest World Maps produced in the early 1800's". His map represents one of the last great examples of Italian royal court patronage of cartography in Italy, which for centuries had maintained a tradition responsible for many of the world s finest and most historically important maps and globes. The production of the present map would have been very expensive and labor intensive, and would certainly have been funded as a special commission for the court of Ferdinando II. " (Ruderman)
